Official Site Partners:

In order for us to host a fans site that DOESN'T HAVE invasive pop ups, pop unders or the dreaded interstitials we ask that you donate a little towards the sites upkeep. The amount is up to you, perhaps a couple of pounds, maybe a fiver if the team win, there is no obligation, just whenever the mood takes you if you can afford it! Most fans have had enough of having to play a computer game to avoid adverts each time they try to view a site for West Ham news, and remember interstitials 'bury' themselves in your browser.- Ed

Look at Milner and Emre Can in the Liverpool match. They both writhed on the grass like they were mortally wounded, but soon enough played on as usual. Collins gets injured virtually every match but unless he's torn something, you won't see him out. But then we've had players with mysterious groin injuries (the nutter with the putter, remember?) who hardly ever are fit (until they sign for some other team). And don't even mention Andy Carroll. If a player wants to play, he'll play unless the injury is truly serious. Most of em, I think, are not.

was it Bailly yesterday i saw - Man U 2-1 up, he goes down in his own box…..writhes around….looks up to see if play is stopping then remarkably gets up as if nothing happened because the ref ignored him. they are all at it. Valencia flung himself down simply to waste time as well.

Well Delli Alli is always diving all over the place so most of the time avoids any contact! On a serious note though, its kust another example of how money has changed the game for the worse - players are simply worth too much money, not just to themselves and the clubs but to the agents, sponsors, wives etc. to risk damage and they know it. So when Andy Carroll gets a bruised ankle or dead leg and wants a day off Its easy for him o get because they err on the side of caution... its the you and me equivalent of coughing loudly a couple of times at work to justify pulling a sicky the next day, except they can get away with it!
